“One of my favorite LGBT movies is...”
Thom Fitzgerald (director, 3 NEEDLES)
“The queer movie that had the greatest influence on me was THE TIMES OF HARVEY MILK, about the double-murder of the Mayor and a city counselor in San Francisco… not as a filmmaker, but as a person. I was too young to see Rob Epstein‘s documentary when it was made in 1983, but ten years later on video it was a wrenching, eye opening snapshot of gay peoples’ ever-evolving position in America. The film was made with so much love, and so much rage. It’s a film that makes it feel okay to go try and smash the windows of city hall, and I found it motivating. Kids coming of age today, who weren’t even born when Harvey Milk was alive, should absolutely see that film.”
